How to use: Just put on these boardshorts like you would with any other pair. Adjust the draw cord to get a perfect fit for your waist. When you're out in the water or playing beach games, the mesh side pockets are great for holding your keys or small trinkets. Attention: Don't put sharp objects in the mesh pockets to avoid tearing. After using them in saltwater, rinse the boardshorts with fresh water to prevent salt residue. Maintenance: Wash them in cold water with mild detergent. Don't use bleach as it may damage the fabric and the hydrophobic technology. Hang them to dry in a shaded area to keep the color and material in good condition.
